Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

As an admitted n00b to the world of drinking (liquor, specifically) as well as a college student, I have tasted some of the worst crap made.

I'm tired of [censored] $10 plastic-jug vodka and I don't know much about liquor, but I don't mind rum&cokes, and the most recent liquor I tried was 99 Black Berries--which I didn't mind, either.

So OOT, what liquors would you recommend to an up-and-coming-hopeful drink connoisseur? Not looking for cheap stuff, not looking for beer, and probably not looking for sophisticated stuff that old guys drink (aka gin and/or whiskey).

Thanks in advance [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

absinthe

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

Gin and tonics are absolutely tasty and get you [censored] up quick. Try one with a little lime.

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

Try Scotch and Nyquill, equal parts, on the rocks

jagermeister.

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

holy hell, you guys like some hard-up stuff. what do you guys drink for the taste?

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

bang for buck it has to be a handle of reg. smirnoff vodka. comes in a plastic bottle, but for $20 you can't really beat the marginal utility of each shot.

it's miles above aristo ($10 a handle). it mixes with [censored] anything (ie girls drink it!!!).


do it.

Crown Royal and Jameson haven't been mentioned yet, these should both be in the whiskey discussion.

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

I'm more of a beer guy, but I do like a good quality...
- Vodka
- Rum
- Tequila

For mixed drinks, try variations of martinis, cosmos, and margaritas. Good stuff.

I like the taste of the drinks I listed, but usually only if they're mixed (although Chivas still tastes pretty good straight). If I'm taking straight shots, the taste isn't really a consideration: getting wasted is.

If I were going for tasty shots, QFs are good. 1/3 Kahlua, 1/3 Midori and 1/3 Baileys, which should be poured in that order, in distinct layers. There are some other nice shots I like, but I can't remember them for the moment.

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

Patron Silver Tequila. I've tried lots of others...but in that price range, there's nothing better (I like silver tequila better than anejo for some reason). If you want to splurge, buy a bottle of Patron Gran. All of this is if you have a taste for tequila specifically...most types of liquor are the same way. Some guys love scotch - but even nice scotch is wasted on me because I just don't have a taste for scotch period.

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

For tasty shots,
I go to a couple of places where the bartenders would 'buy' us shots (we tipped well)...

The best one was a 'Creamsicle'. Others included a 'ruby slipper' and 'rootbeer float'.

Also, anything made with Midori Melon Liquor is probably good.

FYI... Jaeger Bombs and Depth Charges are dangerous.

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

makers mark, johnnie walker, don julio blanco or anejo, pravda vodka (not in any order, just recent favorites)

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

jack and coke, southern comfort and canada dry

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

Maker's Mark

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

jim beam black, kinda like that new cuervo black too

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

captain morgan + coke. You'll thank me later. If you've got a few extra dollars, you might want captain morgans private stock + coke. You'll thank me even more.

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

I am a rum fan. One of my favorites is Ron del Barrillito 3 Star . Its quite tasty, however, it can be hard to find in some areas.

I've recently started drinking Campari with soda. It's a acquired taste, but I really like them now.

Perfect Manhatten, straight up with a cherry was my drink of choice for quite a while. Potent, tasty, and efficient.

Gin & Tonic is a nice refreshing drink, especially on a warm day.

If I'm in the mood for something sweet, I'll usually go for a White Russian or a Mudslide.

And if I really want to get blitzed, I usually order a Mai Tai. I pretend that the fruit juice makes it a healthy drink. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

Captain Morgan and Jose Cuervo. Rum and Coke and Margartias. I could live on these two things.

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

Crown Royal and Bombay Sapphire are the only I usually buy

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

Good summer time cocktail

Fill glass with ice

Fill halfway w/ Stoli Orange Vodka

Big ol wedge of lemon and lime squeezed and thrown in the drink

MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Midori (specifically Midori Sour). It's green and girly looking, but every [censored] that makes fun of you will end up ordering it themselves after they try it.

Jack Daniels. I'd drink it even if it didn't have alcohol in it. Love it. The single barrel's the best, but after that I like the original. Gentleman Jack's a distant 3rd. It's pretty much the only alcohol I drink.

Basil Hayden's

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

brandy and ginger ale

Re: Yo OOT, what\'s your liquor of choice?
 

My all time favorite drinks are definately smokey, peaty, mediciney Islay scotches like laphroaig, ardbeg, and lagavulin served neat.

Runners up are bitters like fernet and campari.

Third place goes to more rustic forms of brandy like peruvian pisco, and aguardente. Tequila and Cachaca I guess go here too.
